Hi,

Try this one:

1. Download one of stock kernel from this thread which is required by your ROM.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=870480

2. Put it in internal SDCard and change name to update.zip

3. Flash latest CWM through ROM Manager

4. Reboot into recovery via ROM manager

5. Choose 'Reinstall packages' when rebooting to recovery. You may need to do it twice.

6. After successfully reboot into recovery, you can flash your ROM now as usual. Put your ROM file zip in internal SDcard, then you can 'choose zip from sdcard'.

Good luck.

I think the issue is the software people use to rip.
[Xoom General] burden010:
Granted I don't have my Xoom yet but I've read a lot of threads in preparation and I think the problem is the profile used to rip rather than the software. Apparently high profile 720p isn't working on the Xoom.

Hopefully it's a codec thing and fixable by either Moto adding the codecs or some third party app like CorePlayer.

I dont have my Xoom yet, but just so i know for when i get it, what profile/settings do you use for the converted rip?
[Xoom General] DebianDog:
There is a Xoom profile out there that works perfectly. See middle of this page http://www.xoomfaq.com/video/

1080p is a size not a measure of quality. I had a standard def camera that will shoot a better picture than my handheld HD cam and will shoot better than any phone or tablet camera. I do not know many that can tell the difference between high quality 720 vs 1080. Probably the same folks that can tell the difference between a 160kbps MP3 file vs a 300kbps one :rolleyes:

Real HD, that plays off your BluRay player, is 48 Mbit/s. No tablet made today can play that level of quality.
[Xoom General] MichaelWestin:
Just because nobody mentioned it..

The problem was/is that users feel that most downloadable HD content files should not have to be re-encoded to play on an $600-$800 device. It is not that we can't use handbrake, or can't figure out how to download the preset which has already been posted on XDA. It is time consuming.

I got over it though, because watching 720P Tv shows on the train with the Xoom is awesome.
[Xoom General] patass:
I loaded a Kenny vs. Spenny episode onto a store display via my Evo's bluetooth and it played fine.

[Xoom General] muyoso:
As others have stated, its a tegra 2 issue. Tegra 2 is incapable of playing high profile h.264 video @ L4.1 or higher. Its a limitation of the video decode processor. As it stands right now, no tegra2 device has been seen playing ANY high profile video at all smoothly. Tegra 2 can play some main profile h.264 as long as its encoded exactly how the tegra2 likes it, ie no b frames etc.

The reason people like myself take issue with this is that the original ipad can play 720p high profile h.264 and my epic4g can play 720p high profile h.264. Neither of these devices were sold as being particularly capable of playing hd content. The xoom on the other hand was specifically sold as being able to play hd content, and the tegra.2 was advertised at being particlarly good at doing so. Then when both the xoom and tegra 2 are released we come to realize that it was a bs marketing ploy and "technically" it can display videos that are 720p and 1080p, but only if they are formatted in a ridiculously specific encode.
[Xoom General] inrelief:
This pretty much sums it up.

While I'm keeping my Xoom and have made peace with transcoding my videos I'd be lying if I said I wasn't expecting more from the video playback when I bought it.
[Xoom General] haley_joel_osteen:
This nails the issue right on the head. Most 720p TV shows available on Usenet or via Bittorrent are encoded using video codec H264 "high" settings. From what I've read, the xoom struggles to play these files, which I would not have expected given its hardware specs. I'm still going to pick up a wifi-only model from Costco on Sunday, but I may jump to the Galaxy Tab if it is able to play "high" H264 files.
[Xoom General] pecosROB:
I'm pretty sure I read awhile back that for small screens (like 27" and smaller), if you're sitting/standing within a distance (say within 10 feet) it is pretty much impossible to tell if something is 720p vs 1080p. It only becomes more apparent on larger screens. Other people have mentioned it's probably too difficult to tell on a 10.1" screen, but I'm pretty sure it IS impossible to tell by just looking at it on a screen of that size. So 1080p is just overkill to me, only if you're going to output it on a large screen or something.
[Xoom General] sangreal06:
You have it wrong. You lose the ability to distinguish the resolution the further away from the screen you get. Since a tablet is right in front of you, you can certainly tell the difference. That said, it isn't really relevant because the Xoom only has a 720p screen and that isn't the point. We already have 1080p video encoded for use on other devices/screens and we don't want to have to re-encode them to play on the Xoom.
[Xoom General] ClydeB1:
Try this one
[Xoom General] pecosROB:
Yeah, totally forgot to mention that. 1280x800 definitely can't play full 1080p.

And yeah, I didn't factor in the "you sit way closer to a tablet than a TV factor," but I still would find it hard to believe that people could tell the difference of 720p vs 1080p on a 10.1" screen (even if you are 1-2 feet away, assuming the screen does support 1080p). Definitely not old people - my parents at first didn't see the difference between SD and HD. Now they can definitely tell and even laugh about how they couldn't distinguish the two at first.

Yes, they don't have the best eyesight at their age now. This is why I usually drive when we go somewhere.

I have the "problem" that I ripped all my movies and shows to fit my iPod classic screen (and the car stereo) at 640x480. I unless I want to watch a mini video I'll have to convert the movies anyway. I don't see what the big deal is. If you change your hardware you should expect to run into some kind of trouble. And honestly, our 720p HDTV in the kitchen has a brilliant picture and is hardly any different from the 1080p HDTVs that we have in other rooms.
[Xoom General] e.mote:
The "big deal" is for warez peeps who can't play their warez HD videos. They know nothing about video encoding, and they don't want to know.

But once more into the breach...

@muyoso

>Tegra 2 is incapable of playing high profile h.264 video @ L4.1 or higher

There's nothing that said a H.264 video has to be encoded at level 4.1. For 720p @30fps, 3.1 is fine. Check the H.264 wiki you're so fond of quoting. L4.1 is a warez standard.

But if you want, I can post a high profile @L4.1 clip, and I'll bet it will play just fine. Will you then shut up and leave?

>original ipad can play 720p high profile h.264 and my epic4g can play 720p high profile h.264

Great, no need for you to buy anything else then.

>Tegra 2 can play some main profile h.264 as long as its encoded exactly how the tegra2 likes it, ie no b frames etc.

BS. The Handbrake script I've posted, and people have used, used straight main profile (which allows B-frames).

>Then when both the xoom and tegra 2 are released we come to realize that it was a bs marketing ploy and "technically" it can display videos that are 720p and 1080p, but only if they are formatted in a ridiculously specific encode.

What's ridiculous is expecting devices to support warez videos, all of which are encoded for the PC platform, and many of which are badly encoded.

The problem with your whining is that it's all predicated on warez, and that's not something you can offer as evidence when it's put-up time and you're asked for proof.

>Its a limitation of the video decode processor.

And you know this because how? The Xoom is the first HC Teg2 device, and it's still in beta status. Every other Teg2 tab available thus far were Froyo, and all of them were also in beta status. Everything points to the driver support.

I asked you this twice before, and I'll ask it a third time: If you think the Teg2 is incapable of playing your warez vids, why are you still here?
[Xoom General] vizir:
driver or not, high profile decoding of h264 is a know limitation of tegra2.

[Xoom General] CJNYC:
iPad can't do this

While I admit to the XOOM struggling to perfectly play the videos I encoded for my iPad, I struggled for a while to get videos encoded perfectly for the iPad as well when it first came out. That being said, I've recently figured out why for me the XOOM is a far better video playback device than either the iPad or iPad 2 - IT CAN PLAY 720p60 VIDEOS WITHOUT A FRAMERATE CONVERSION! I record 720p straight to my computer from cable at 60 fps. When these files are converted down to the 30 fps standard the iPad requires, they show "hitching" in the playback. When I convert for the XOOM without a change in the fps, they play back with a smoothness and overall quality unmatched on the iPad. End of story for me.
[Xoom General] e.mote:
It would be good if people would just read what they're quoting.

>but throw any high profile 1080p content at the chip and it can't do it

Teg2 can't do 1080p high profile, which isn't the same as saying it can't do high profile, period. Then again, point me to a current ARM processor you can buy that will do 1080p HP.

The problem with all this specs-spanking is that the only commonly available source of 1080p high profile is warez.

If you're going to be holding warez as the end-all format, then point me to a tablet or PMP that will handle multi DTS/AC3 surround tracks, with ASS subtitles with font attachment. And of course, it has to do VFR and with L5.1. I mean, why stop at a piddly thing like L4.1, right?
[Xoom General] e.mote:
@CJNYC

The iPad can do 720p @60fps. It just depends on the conversion tools, and the settings used. The hitching you described is because of improper frame decimation (1 out of every 2) down to 30fps.

Your HDTV clips are actually 23.976fps. For every 2 frames, 3 duplicate frames are inserted, which increased framerate to 59.94fps. Proper frame decimation is 3 out of every 5. Unfortunately, most converters don't allow custom frame decimation.

does the xoom play 720p high profile videos fine? i am planning to buy the wifi this sunday and ideally i'd like to throw on a bunch of 720p videos (these videos play just fine on my captivate, btw) without re-encoding them to lower profiles.
[Xoom General] CJNYC:
Interesting...

Interesting, thanks for the explanation. I used Handbrake, and the iPad profile forces a conversion to 30 fps and it definitely hitches, but now I understand why. I love watching these same videos without the fps conversion introduced artifacts even though the files are bigger.
[Xoom General] e.mote:
@vizir

There've been reports of the Xoom (and other Teg2 tabs) not playing warez 720p. If that's what you have, and if you don't want to recode, then no.

That said, I've yet to see anyone actually test the Xoom at various profiles/bitrates to find out its current limits. Warez vids typically have excessive bitrates, and their AC3/DTS audio would also be a problem.

The Xoom currently has only native Android multimedia support (no AVI, MPEG2, MKV, AC3, etc), which is another indication that no work has gone into improving this aspect. If videos are important to you, you can always wait. I think the support will come, from Moto or elsewhere. The Xoom is after all the HC reference platform.
[Xoom General] funnycreature:

i have a hard time fathoming why one would want to put their 'HD content' stored locally on their xoom.

Aside from traveling situations, wouldn't it be better to stream your videos from your home base machine (your home PC) and have it transcode on the fly as it streams to your xoom? (kinda like AirVideo on iOS)

I find manually converting each of your video files as extremely inefficient and not forward thinking.

Are there any android apps that can do transcoding on the fly and stream to your tablet over wifi or 3G?

thanks in advanced
[Xoom General] sangreal06:
Aside from traveling? It's a mobile device... I think many of us use the Xoom beyond our couches. Transcoding/streaming would be a decent solution but if you have traveled a lot you will know that most WiFi on the road sucks. It is hard to find a hotel or airport that can stream Netflix let alone high bitrate HD over WiFi. 3G is a little bit better, and 4G would be fine, however those plans are not unlimited.

None of us like that solution. That is why we are disappointed.

>why one would want to put their 'HD content' stored locally on their xoom.

Agree for home use. But the caveat is your wifi connection needs to be good. Wifi reception on mobile devices can be iffy.

>wouldn't it be better to stream your videos...and have it transcode on the fly

It depends. Transcoding bypasses the "no codec/format support" issue, and it can alleviate bandwidth demand by downsampling to a smaller resolution/bitrate, but you need a dedicated PC beefy enough to transcode HD content in real-time. What happens if other members in your household want to stream vids at the same time? Would the server be up to doing 2 or 3 concurrent streams?

There are usability issues as well, as seeks will be much less responsive, and FF/RW won't work. In short, OTF xcoding has its pluses and minuses.

Anyway, the contention here is about HD video. If your library is DVD rips using H264/DivX and AAC/MP3, there should be no need to xcode.

>I find manually converting each of your video files as extremely inefficient and not forward thinking.

Set up a script and batch process. Some converters allow batch processing.

>Are there any android apps that can do transcoding on the fly and stream to your tablet

http://google.com/search?q=dlna+client+for+android

Not too much at this point, but VLC should have DLNA support when it appears for Android. Ditto for CorePlayer. The other half would be an x86 app,

@funnycreature

Unlike some here, I don't think the Xoom's multimedia capability is cast in stone, so would suggest against any wholesale media conversion at this point.

In my case, when my xoom wifi arrives, I am going to be ripping my blueray/dvd collection and putting what I want on my device, so it transcoding wont be a problem. Even if I download more content, it would be downloaded from a pc (probably) and what's an extra couple minutes to transcode?

I use Orb and streaming from my home PC works fine over wifi, even away from home, if you use the browser to view the video and not a media player or the market apps. You must have flash installed and I have found that the only browser that works consistently is skyfire, note when you hit play a window will pop up, you will not see the video playing but if you touch the lower right bottom corner of the pop up then it will go to full screen and it will play fine, if you pause it will fail and restart after unpause, but you can resume from the last point if you check the time before you stop it, if you do this more than once you must add the last time with the new time to get the total for the new resume.

Most use-cases argue against HD video for mobile consumption. SD videos take much less space (ie more can be fitted onto SD cards), and use less wireless bandwidth. On a tablet, quality difference between 720p and SD is minimal.

I am easily able to stream my movies/music/tv shows via 3G while on the road. You can change the bitrate, from 50kbps - unlimited.

will it be crystal clear crisp quality? most likely not, but its definitely better than having to encode every time you want something stored locally on your xoom.

it requires some setup, but subsonic has resolved my media streaming issue on android.
